No biblical foundation not supporting surrogate children
Each life is planned no matter the circumstance
There's nothing wrong with helping someone who is unable to have a child have one.
It shouldn't be anyone elses choice how people decide to have a family.
God decides all so if its happening it's not wrong
You are a selflessness person if you choice to be the surrogate mother
Jesus was a surrogate child
People belive that if god is leading you to do it weither in there eyes its right or wrong, then you should follow full heartedly the direction your being lead
God made people intellegent enough to come up with this process why would it be bad?
Against Surrogate Mothers
You don't own your own body, its not yours to do with it as you want, but what god wants
Some believe that surrogacy causes fornication between the surrogate mother.
Mary didn't have a choice she was chosen.
People think its wrong because your paying for the process
Its illegal to sell kids why should this be any different
Its a sinful act of adultry
The child wouldn't biologically be yours
Adoption is a better choice, your helping a child who was already brought into this world have a better life
Dont play god
If god wanted them to have children they would be able to
You should only have children throuhg normal means
Your sperm and eggs shouldnt be sold
Marry didnt choose to be a surrogant
Mary didn't pay for her child
Mary didn't didnt have the option of helping another couple out there was never another couple in the equation
In the middle
No one knows if its right or wrong bibically
Know the risks and laws before taking on the task, it is not for everyone
The entire process is more involved and intense then people think
Counseling evaluations for everyone, physical exams, shots, pills, agreements to abstain from sex, and a huge legal side on top of it all
Even if people agree lawyers go over every tiny detail to make you fully aware of what your getting yourself into.
Dont be a surrogate if you arent entirely comfortable with the other person or people your doing this with
Be firm with what you want and expect
But be flexible and prepared for all the " what ifs"
Get good explanations from the doctors and the other medical staff
Progesterone gel is preferable to the shots ( it is more expensive)
The shots you get in your legs at first arent as intense and the ones you get down the road in your back
Surrogacy is illegal in Michigan, Washington, New York, New Mexico, and Arizonia
People sometimes winde up hurting themselves due to depriving themselves of every day routines such as medicines they take everyday.
Make sure you establish a good relationsip
Some individuals want to help people because of there problem or cituation, others want to help them and just like to be pregnant as well

You have a lot of things to go threw before even being excepted to get or be a surrogate mother
The match for couple isnt choosen by a list, its choosen but the personality
Not everyone is excepted
The mother to be and the carrier mother both have vital roles through the pregnancy
You both have to go threw a screening test to assure your right for surrogacy
Backround checks are required as well
An attorney is met to make sure your insurence will cover the pregnancy requirments
If you dont have medical insurence you cannot apply
Carrier mother will be fertile screened and asked to monitor menstral cycle
They match the " couples" up by the screening tests
Mother to be will then look over the choice made for her and decide whether they want that carrier or not
Then choosen a metting is set up betwen both couples
Theyre will be a counselor present during the first meeting
If agreed to be together a contract will be made.
2 different choices: artifical insemination or vitro fertilization
The carrier get to tell the Mother to be when she becomes pregnanat
Suggest you keep in contact with mother to be once every 2 weeks through pregnancy
You could also go the the doctor visits together
Carriers will not be help responsible for changing diapers or feeding after birth
Surrogate mothers get pain generously
Some surrogate mothes stay close to the family years throughout
The matching process cannot be rushed
Both couple get physically and metally tested
They payment to the surrogate mother is held in a trust through the pregnancy ----
